We are very happy to be able to say that lots of people like what we do. Here's a snapshot of what they say.

'It's the sort of show you greediliy want to see again.'
(Caroline Ellis, Magic Flute)

'We loved the show, and saw it yesterday. It's defo worth going to see it. It's beautiful music, great singing and wonderful musicians. It's also beautiful to look at, such great costumes and puppets and art work!' (April Anderson, Magic Flute)

'We really enjoyed the performance. Amazing sounds produced by a relatively small cast, thanks to your talented singers and musicians.' (Vicky Jane, The Magic Flute)

'I absolutely loved the concept. It was clever, clear, and made sense of such a bonkers and convoluted plot. I loved the images of the characters on the easels to help us follow everything and recognise them....I LOVED the real magic and the box with Pamina getting chopped up!' (Helena Payne, Magic Flute)

‘What amazing fun! Epic singing, great puppets, silly story, wonderful dragon, lovely evening, .. and live music, fine acting. Memorable! Congratulations all round! Glasto next year – or Hyde Park?' (Anna Bushell, The Reduced Ring Cycle)

'When a family of five happen to pass by, and then double back, intrigued, and stay for the performance with smiles on their faces, you know you have brought opera to the public! Bold, innovative, and creative, you all delivered a performance packed with the humour not usually associated with these operas. It was a joy to see so many young children not only watching you, but totally engrossed." (Julie O'Donnell, Arts Taunton, The Reduced Ring Cycle)

'The Popera House is a thing of beauty and incredibly practical at this time when we are having to find new approaches in the arts and new ways of delivering work with our communities.' (Sarah Peterkin, Take Art) 

‘This performance was my favourite to date. Thanks for providing rays of sunshine.’ (Frances Machen, The Musicians of Bremen)

‘Just a brief note to thank you, the rest of the cast, and the entire crew for bringing your amazing show to Croscombe. Everyone I spoke to after the show had absolutely loved it and it blew me away as well.' (Richard Cronin, The Reduced Ring Cycle)
